its so cool! what is it?

[mr.clownfish]

this morning when i woke up i noticed something on my heater. i looked closer and it looks like some kind of slug, its body is brown, and it has neon green tiny leaf looking things on its back. its really cool. i captured it and now its floating in a plastic bag. i think its some kind of zooanothid eater. please id it for me. because if its harmless i would love to put it back into my tank. its really small i cant focus my camera enough to get a picture of it. srry

Sounds like a Nudi.

 

[mr.clownfish]

what kind? is it safe?

 

[bigarn]

Do a search for Lettuce Nudibranch.

 

[mr.clownfish]

i just did. it looks similar but the neon green part i was talking about dosent look like the ones of a lettuce nudi. when i caught it i tried using a spoon to get it off the heater some of the neon leafy looking things fell off....

The only other thing I can think of is a Stomatella snail.

oh no not at all. its a nudi for sure! it has those little cute antenna things. ive herd there are zoo eating nudi's can someone post a pic so i could see it its that?

Hard to do as zoa eating nudis take on the color of the zoas they are eating. Can you post a pic or yours?

it is the color of my zoos now that u mention it. i have green zoos and the nudi is green. i would post a pic of the nudi but its so tiny i cant get a good pic. it gets all blurry

I would take your zoos out and give them a fresh water dip. If more fall off, then its zoos eatting nudi. check your zoos for white swirls also, they are the eggs. Scape them off.
